The Phantom of the Opera Lyrics: Raoul I’ve Been There

The Phantom of the Opera: Lyrics for “The Phantom of the Opera”

CHRISTINE
Raoul, I’ve been there
to his world of unending night
To a world with the daylight dissolves into darkness…
darkness…
Raoul, I’ve seen him!
Can I ever forget that sight?
Can I ever escape from that face?
So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face
in that darkness…
darkness…
But his voice filled my spirit
with a strange, sweet sound…
In that night there was music in my mind…
And through music my soul began to soar!
And I heard as I’d never heard before…

RAOUL
What you heard was a dream and nothing more…

CHRISTINE
Yet in his eyes
all the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes,
that both threaten and adore

RAOUL
Christine…
Christine…

PHANTOM
Christine…

CHRISTINE
(whisper) What was that?
